Résumé / Abstract : CRITIQUE, OU SOUPCONNE DU PIRE PAR CERTAINS, RECONNU ET ADMIRE PAR LES AUTRES, TROP SOUVENT OUBLIE, CHARLES MAURRAS SE REVELE ICI AU COEUR DU CERCLE DES PLUS BRILLANTS ESPRITS DE CE SIECLE. C'EST AINSQU'A TRAVERS LA PUBLICATION D'UNE CORRESPONDANCE QUI EDIFIE AUTANT PAR LA TENEUR DES LETTRES RECUES QUE PAR LA QUALITE DE LEURS AUTEURS, SE SITUE, OU SE REPLACE AUJOURD'HUI, CETTE PERSONNALITE COMPLEXE, D'UNE RICHESSE PEU COMMUNE. TELLE OU TELLE AMITIE (GIDE, POINCARE, HERRIOT, MALRAUX...) ETAIT DEJA CONNUE. ON S'EN DOUTAIT. ON LE PRESSENTAIT. ON EN PARLAIT. ON L'EVOQUAIT. ON L'ENVISAGEAIT. CEPENDANT LES PREUVES VENAIENT A MANQUER ET L'ON-DIT, VAGUES REMINISCENCES DE LA MEMOIRE COLLECTIVE. QUI AURAIT PU CROIRE QUE CETTE CORRESPONDANCE FUT AUSSI DENSE? ET SI CERTAINS LE SUPPUTAIENT, LES ILLUSTRIONS RESTAIENT BIEN TERNES. MAURRAS REUNIT DANS CETTE THESE SOCIALISTES ET LIBERAUX, ECRIVAINS ET CRITIQUES, HISTORIENS ET POLITIQUES, UNIVERSITAIRES ET ACADEMICIENS, TOUS TEMOINS DE L'INFLUENCE INCONTESTABLE ET DE LA PUISSANCE D'ATTRACTION INTELLECTUELLE EXERCEES SUR LE MONDE POLITIQUE, LITTERAIRE ET ARTISTIQUE PAR CET HOMME LIBRE. L'HISTOIRE DES SOURCES L'ATTESTE.
Résumé / Abstract : HIGHLY CRITICIZED OR SUSPECTED OF THE WORST BY SOME, ADMIRED AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY OTHERS, TOO OFTEN NEGLECTED, CHARLES MAURRAS IS DISPLAYED HERE, AMONG THE MOST OUTSTANDING MINDS OF THIS CENTURY. THANKS TO THE PUBLICATION OF A CORRESPONDENCE THAT EDIFIES AS MUCH BY THE CONTENT OF THE LETTERS AS BY THE QUALITY OF THEIR AUTHORS, WE CAN SITUATE OR PUT BACK IN HIS CONTEXT THIS INTRICATE AND EXTRAORDINARY RICH PERSONALITY. SOME FRIEDSHIP OR OTHER - GIDE, POINCARE, HERRIOT, MALRAUX - WAS ALREADY WELL-KNOWN. PEOPLE WOULD GUESS IT. THEY WOULD SENSE SOMETHING OR SPEAK ABOUT IT. THEY WOULD EVOKE IT OR ENVISAGE IT. NEVERTHELESS, WE WERE SHORT OF EVIDENCE AND STUCK ON RUMOURS, VAGUE ECHOES OF THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY. WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS CORRESPONDENCE WERE SO DENSE ? AND IF SOME HAD AN IDEA ABOUT IT, ILLUSTRATIONS WERE QUITE LIFELESS. IN THIS THESIS, THROUGH MAURRAS, WE HAVE SOCIALISTS AND LIBERALS GATHERED, AS WELL AS WRITERS AND CRITICS, HISTORIANS AND POLITICIANS, PEOPLE BELONGING TO UNIVERSITIES AND ACADEMIES. THEY ALL WITNESSED THE INDISPUTABLE INFLUENCE AND THE POWERFUL INTELLECTUAL ATTRACTION THIS FREE MAN EXERTED ON THE WORLD OF POLITICS, LITERATURE AND ARTS. THE HISTORY OF SOURCES TESTIFIES TO IT.
